We're building Epoxy. Basically a way to proxy to a relay through one or more other relays. The cool thing here is those proxies can support tor/i2p/hyper as well. Meaning you can technically connect to a TOR relay from clearnet, like on iphone.

Using these proxies helps hide the requester's IP from the destination server and vice versa along with blurring the line between clearweb/tor/i2p. It will all seem like one network to the end user.

We want to address relays by pubkey (NIP-66), encrypt the Nostr requests going to the final relay to that relay's pubkey, that way the intermediate proxy relays can't read the contents.

Our WIP:

NERP (Nostr Epoxy Reverse Proxy), which you can put in front of any relay to support proxying: https://github.com/ArjenStens/nostr-epoxy-reverse-proxy
